Sadly, this location is losing its appeal and has been steadily going downhill. The waitstaff neglects the customers and the food is subpar (or worse). The fajita meat is so overcooked it has no flavor and is chocked full of chopped zucchini. The side of black beans looks like it was scooped directly out of the can. Way overpriced for what they are serving

Went there for brunch on last Sunday..... There was a plumbing problem and the food was just ok..... Definitely not the experience I had on my previous visit and will prob never go back again. The most ridiculous thing for the day was $39 for a dozen oysters cause they only give increments of 4 for $13! GTFOH I have never heard of such a thing and have seen and had better at more upscale places than this..... The attached picture was their Spanish rice and it was disgusting. Peas were hard like they weren't even cooked. I took a big party as well and the waitress comes to tell me that they can only split the check 6 ways and she's already done 3.... Wouldn't that be something you say before you do the 3 checks!? So yeah.... I'm good...... hope they fixed the plumbing also. Couldn't use the bathroom and it was suggested we go next door to Starbucks. LOL FOH

Nice staff, food is just OK.They have happy hours mostly for drinks.

I visited here to meet a friend, and waited for 5 minutes in the lobby to be seated while several workers didn’t greet or acknowledge anyone up front. Finally the man who would be our waiter (an older man with glasses) asked why I was standing here for, well to dine in obviously! When I placed my order, the waiter was pressuring heavily for the upsell on everything. The waiter asked several times what type of tortillas we wanted with our tacos, and we said corn. When we received the tacos from the food runner, we soon discovered we got flour instead of corn. We waited for almost 10 minutes and couldn’t locate our waiter. Eventually our waiter appeared and asked how’s the order. I said that I originally ordered corn tacos and not flour, suddenly the waiter gave me a blank stare and was left utterly speechless. Then he immediately walked away from the table with no comment and disappeared! That’s RUDE and absolutely TERRIBLE service. He failed to correct the mistake and just ignored us, gave ZERO APOLOGY and walked away. The gall and disrespect! The waiter appeared again later with the checks trying to act like nothing wrong had happened. Needless to say, I won’t be returning back here again. Be careful, I wouldn’t be surprised if these guys treat you like this. I recommend don’t even bother going here and go elsewhere.

Awesome! Carolina, our bartender, was swamped with a huge party ordering lots of specialty drinks yet she was amazingly kind, prompt, and attentive. We were truly impressed with the service and prices at this strip mall gem. I can definitely recommend checking it out.

If the restaurant is going to boast modern Mexican cuisine I just wish the food was better. The drinks are good. Pricey, but good. The food is average at best and has almost no seasoning to back being Mexican. It’s hard to find a place with both good drinks and food these days, and I’d have to say this place just has drinks that are good but don’t justify price. Never again especially after getting sick.

Friendly staff and good tacos. The oysters and dessert was meh -- but not sure why we ordered that. The guac was homemade and yummy.For a $$ scale place, it's much better than the average neighborhood Mexican place.

Good place friendly service and we like the salsa and food

My drink was top notch! I had 2 nicely prepared long island ice teas. The bartender was attentive and professional. I was there during happy hour and had the grilled oysters. They were very good. Comparable to the ones in I have had in the best restaurants in New Orleans. I will certainly recommend that my friends and I will meet up here for happy hour.

Ordered takeout on a Sunday night that was ready one time. The service on the phone and in the restaurant was great. We got chips and queso, shrimp quesadilla, and steak fajita bowl. All of the food was pretty good, but very overpriced for the serving sizes we were given. We will not eat Red Pepper again.
